NG Knight Lamune & 40

Lamune is an ordinary 4th grade boy who loves playing video. He buys one from a peddler girl (and helps her sell the rest :-)). At home, he plays the game called `King Sccasher` & beats it. The peddler girl then comes out of the TV screen and asks for his help, calling him "The Blood Relative of the Chosen Hero Lamuness" or Lamuness for short. She is Princess Milk and takes him to Hara-Hara World where his role is to revive the Guardian Knights...starting with King Sccasher. To do this, he had to find an unlock the shrine which held Tama-Q...a robot who became Lamuness` Advisor Robot. Normally worn on Lamuness` shoulder, Tama-Q, when fed a coin of a Guardian Knight, coughs up a capsule which releases that Knight. All of the Knights are free-thinking mechas except for King Sccasher which is piloted by Lamuness. Opposing Lamuness is Don Harumage and his minions Da Cider and Lesuka. Later, Lesuka and Da Cider sort of defect to the good guys. Da Cider also tells really bad puns (DAJARE). A fun giant-robot series. Note that "Lamune & 40 EX" and "Lamune & 40 DX" are OAV series following the TV series...
